Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, November 2009

  A wonderfully appealing Bonnes Mares that is crunchy and sweet at the same time, offering notes ofcranberries, morello cherries and red currants. It perfectly captures Bonnes Mares' true essenceand the domaine's style.

  Score: 91-94

  This is also strongly reduced. The tautly muscled and imposingly sized flavors are very tight and backwards and it's clear that this is going to be a long distance runner as the finish is austere, strict and very serious. There is however excellent underlying material and impeccable balance but again, this is a "buy and forget" wine. Drink: 2022+.Notes: from a 1.5 ha parcel that is almost entirely in terres rouges.

Producer

Domaine Drouhin Laroze

This substantial Gevrey Chambertin domaine is under the guardianship of a collaborative family team: Philippe Drouhin is ably assisted by son and daughter Nicolas and Caroline. First established in 1850, the domaine has major holdings in Gevrey Chambertin, as well as an impressive array of the Côte de Nuits’s grands crus, stretching from Gevrey down through Chambolle Musginy and into Vougeot. Recent investment at the domaine’s barrel hall will continue to drive quality at Drouhin Laroze. Their style falls somewhere between a modernist and a traditionalist. The wines are ripe, concentrated, and often earthy and textured. They offer terrific value, particularly in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.
